Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.

根据鲁迅同名小说改编。清朝末年，统治阶级为维护其摇摇欲坠的统治，疯狂镇压革命。他们押解革命党人游街示众，企图杀一儆百。坐落在小镇临街的华老栓茶馆的门前，一群清朝的遗老遗少们，看着没留辫子的囚犯，齐声斥责这些'孙中山的同伙'是'奸党逆贼'。革命者夏瑜听了他们的一派胡言，无比愤慨。教书先生夏瑜家中只有寡母夏四奶奶，他们子孝母贤，过着清贫的生活。一天夜里，夏瑜忍痛离开年迈的老母，来到一座桥下刺杀了路过这里的满清巡抚。事后，夏瑜的亲伯父夏三爷竟告发了他，致使他被捕入狱。华老栓与老伴华大妈，靠经营小茶馆度日。他们年过半百，只有一个儿子华小栓。小栓聪明伶俐，虽然年纪轻，却患有肺痨病。老栓夫妇不停地给他调治，但始终不见效果。这天清晨，花白胡子、二十多岁相继来到茶馆，要老栓买人血馒头给小栓治痨病。老栓告诉他们，已托驼背五少爷和康大叔办理。夏瑜在狱中被打得遍体鳞伤，但他坚贞不屈，挥笔写下了豪壮诗句。夏四奶奶不相信儿子会'犯上作乱'，她求夏三爷出面话动搭救夏瑜，不料，夏三爷却申斥她家教不严，败坏了夏家门风。夏四奶奶呼告无门，只能在梦中与儿子相见。华老栓夫妇又当又借，好容易凑了5块银元。一个漆黑的凌晨，华老栓提灯来到古轩亭口，躲在角落里，等待着从康大叔手里取人血馒头。一队清兵押着夏瑜走来。夏瑜虽身带枷锁，却泰然自若。刽子手康大叔持刀走来，一道寒光伴随着阴霾天空中的闪电雷鸣，夏瑜英勇就义。华老栓用5块银元换回蘸了夏瑜鲜血的馒头，满以为这味药能治好小栓的病，不料，小栓吃后却无济于事，不久病亡。清明节，凄清的坟地里，华大妈和夏四奶奶分别给儿子上坟。夏瑜的坟头上放着一个花环，夏四奶奶望着它惶惑不解。那花环上红白的花在微风中轻轻摇曳着，虽不甚精神，倒也整齐。
